piston on caliper won't wind back in.

I've been changing the rear pads on my G60, passenger side went smoothly but on the drivers side I've been winding the piston for an eternity but its just not going back in.

Any ideas??

What tool are you using?

I havn't got the proper tool so I'm just using some grips. Its turning fine, just not going back in at all.

Yeh they are a bugger without a tool.

had this problem on my mk2, just get a strong piece of wood, place it in the middle of the piston, get some one to press down on the wood while you are winding it back in with the grips, it will go in alot easier.

For the sake of £10-£20 I really would just buy the correct tool, it will take minutes too!

Even with the right tool mine were a PITA to wind in - they did go eventually though 8)
